Rohit Sharma is going to return to the field as captain again. Rohit Sharma will lead India again after overcoming Covid-19 troubles.
Rohit is returning to the side from the first match of the three-match T20 series against England. However, Virat Kohli and Jaspreet Bumrah will be out of the squad for the first T20 match. However, they can be seen from the second T20 match.
The reason for resting Kohli, Bumrah, Shreyas Iyer and Rabindra Jadeja from the first T20 is to handle their stress in the Test format series. India will take to the field in the first match of the T20 series against England on July 8. Just two days after the fifth match in white, the two teams will take to the field in a short format fight. As a result, they are getting rest from one match.
Instead of these three cricketers, alternative cricketers have been included in the squad. Sanju Samson, Ruturaj Gaikwat, Arshdeep Singh and Rahul Tripathi have been included in the squad for the first match. However, they are not in the second and third T20 matches.
On the other hand, Rohit Sharma is accompanied by veterans like Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav and Dinesh Karthik in India’s batting order in the first match. At the same time, there are Hardik Pandya or Venkatesh Iyars all over India.
In the bowling department, Mohammad Shami, who played for IPL champions Gujarat Titans, has been overlooked. India has arranged the squad without this experienced fast bowler. However, Umran Malik and Bhubaneswar Kumar, who have just got a chance in the team, are in the pace attack.
Let’s take a look at India’s full squad for the first T20 match against England.
Rohit Sharma (captain), Ishan Kishan, Ruturaj Gaikad, Sanju Samson, Suryakumar Yadav, Deepak Huda, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik (wicket-keeper), Hardik Pandya, Venkatesh Iyer, Yuzbendra Chawlath, Yujbendra Chawal, , Abesh Khan, Arshdeep Singh and Umran Malik.
